More than just a radio, he's a man.
He is a twenty something software engineer who loves alternative, indie, and blues.
This is but a confusion of stories of the confusing things about him.
You have to write something. That’s my to-do item glaring at me with its schedule in red font indicating that it should have been done yesterday. A little delay is not that bad right? Except that I’ve been moving the deadline for some months now, and writing micro essays to fool myself that I’ve been doing some writing. They were all okay at the least but they are not the kind of stuff I’ve been…
What’s your desktop story?

When my grandkids read this journal, I wonder what they would think of grandpa.

Rewatched the first Spirit Warriors yesterday. Regal films has released it in their YouTube channel. It’s only 480p though. Making sure to say that before you grab the remote controller of your 50" television.
The short-lived series has always been a personal favourite. For a local movie released in the early 2000s, I believe it pushed the limits in the use of CGI and character design. It brought us creatures that look bizarre but not totally out of place considering the PH setting and the back stories used.
Naturally, I was reintroduced to Ulanaya, a fire elemental corrupted by her previous masters and ended up wanting to become human herself. While that is a small part, I find that story beautiful. The story was only created for the film [I believe], but it makes one curious about the little-known areas of #Pinoy #folklore.

Trying out this new style I borrowed from Nick and Jared. This output is decent but I need more practice and I need to be able to do it faster.

At some point in my life I realized that my kind of pragmatism allowed me to survive but not live happily. I can’t really blame my old self; coming from the bottom, mere survival was already a big goal. I had no big dreams. I was busy just trying to make it to the next day okay. It sounds exaggerated, maybe it is, but anybody who lived with very little privilege if at all, knows how it feels–that feeling that there’s no point dreaming of anything because you cannot achieve them anyway, hell, you cannot even get past challenges in front of you.
But somehow, little by little, things improved. But the pragmatism remained. It’s good; we all need to stay grounded right? But the thing was my attitude towards dreaming also remained the same. I reached a better place but chose not to dream further. Maybe I was afraid to fail. Maybe I got used to the old stuff. Maybe I was only good at survival and nothing more. To this day, I am not sure why. What I do know is that I limited myself by not updating my way of thinking.
Today I am more open to possibilities. They still give me the jitters. In addition, being the planning type, sometimes just thinking about the path to achieving a new goal can already exhaust me. Still I find myself giving more yeses to challenges now than before. I choose to believe that I will always be alright. I know what the bottom looks like. Rather than be occupied by fear of going back there if I fail, I comfort myself with the thought that I can always make it out of there should things go south. I’ve done it before. I can do it again. Maybe even with a smile this time.
Smile. Let us practice self love by allowing the simplest of things to make us smile. Like a beautiful quiet morning.

The number one challenge when doing home renovation is to not get distracted by things you will rediscover in your room. Today I found my old journals. Naturally I was tempted to read through a few entries.
You better get back to working Mac. You have 2 hours.

The 10 Types of Programmers You’ll Encounter
In this episode we discuss a topic that is without a doubt, close to our hearts: programming. In 2007, Justin James published an article in Tech Republic entitled 10 Types of Programmers You’ll Encounter in the Field, which was a hit to us because of its relatableness. In here, we revisit the article, group the types, and share our thoughts about working with them. In the end we also answer a…

Applying theming at work. It worked for my mini-workouts. I’m looking forward to how it will improve my office productivity this time.
Also, I cannot move my corkboard so I have to improvise. I will need a bigger boat… I mean, table.
The OC me is satisfied.

I’m not good at flatlays. Also, I didn’t get into that habit of taking a photo of your food before eating them. But this morning, just like in the past couple of days, I’m dining alone in the hotel’s bistro and they served me this tiny cup of coffee while they prepare my breakfast. I like the minimalistic vibe. 1 person, 1 cup of coffee, 0 staff, in a what used to be 24-seater bistro. The silence only broken by the soft hum of the AC unit. The sunlight on the wooden floor. My kind of morning.
But I gotta get going. Lunch with old buds later.
